How Incentive Awards are Tracked

As you log miles and deeds for the children in your group, cumulative totals will be tracked for each of them. Those totals will be used both to display progress on the JUST RUN Across the USA homepage for all participants to view, and to track incentive awards. At certain milage levels a "reward" may be earned.

To review incetive award progress:

Click on Incentives Overview (green box to the far right of each class).

Red boxes with an E — students have reached a milage goal and Earned a reward, but not yet received it. The E boxes help you create a list for you to order, purchase, or make rewards for each student. Once you have given the students their rewards, update the report by clicking on Change earned rewards to received (blue box).

Green boxes with an R —mileage goals were achieved and the students have Received the award for that level.

In designated counties only:

After the 1st and 15th of each month, JUST RUN program staff will ship awards earned to each school's coordinator. If you autmatically receive awards, you do not have to update this form. It will be automatically updated as the awards are processed and mailed.

Tips for Recording Mileage

Kids love to see improvement in their JUST RUN! running adventure. Regularly updating the students' mileage through the web-app allows them to see their progress.

Log all mileage that a student either run or walked during their JUST RUN! workout. Biking or other sports which are other great activities, don't count for the JUST RUN! program tally.

On days when you do drills rather than lap or track running/walking, simply estimate the distance that the students have covered. A good guide is one mile for each 15 minutes of continued relays and/or drills.
